Hello,
I don't know either, both versions of alsa suggested a 1968 chip, but only the 1.0.16 made it work. Guess I'll stick with p412.
Thanks

Interesting ...

Yes, that is correct, ess maestro2 uses the ess1968 driver. Did you try the alsa update on p412 with pfix=ram or pup_save? If you wish to try for a patched alsa-1020 with 1016 reverted codes, kindly pm me ...

Thanks Patriot.
I put in Puppy4.30, and it found it right away, and doesn't forget it either!

Hello :)

I've updated my alsa to 1.0.20 and now my alsa mixer is gone.
when I type in terminal alsamixer, I 've got this massage:

Code: Select all

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device

Code: Select all

amixer: Control default open error: No such device
I am using puppy NOP 413. wit 2.6.25.16 kernel. I've updated from 1.0.16

I've run alsa sound wizard- there was no error. but I have no sound and no mixer:(

@swiatmar - I renamed the alsamixer to alsamixer.bin and included the script that runs alsamixer in a terminal. That was probably the issue with the other version, since by default the newly compiled package will overwrite the script and leave the previous alsamixer.bin in place. This should have originally been done by leaving alsamixer with its original name and naming the script alsamixer.sh such that future upgrades would not break things.... but we are probably in too deep now so I have stuck with the established naming so-as to not break other unknowns.
